Holidays in Vienna

Holidays in Vienna present a delightful fusion of the old and the new, and the classic with the contemporary. As impressive palaces, enchanting heritage, timeless opera and Viennese Waltz give way to colourful contemporary culture and innovative performing arts.

At the historic centre you’ll find examples of the city’s medieval and baroque past, with stunning architecture, grand castles, splendid palaces and picturesque gardens. Music runs through the veins of Vienna’s past and is still a prominent part of the present – enjoy the exceptional acoustics of the State Opera House one day and the vibrant atmosphere of live jazz and blues the next. Go for breakfast at a traditional Viennese coffee house in the ‘old city’, escape to one of the idyllic guest gardens – you’ll have to find them first, or sample mouth-watering, unique flavours at a Viennese ice cream parlour.

Vienna sightseeing

Enjoy a self-guided audio Schonbrunn Palace walking tour, followed by a three course dinner at Cafe-Restaurant Residenz. Within walking distance from the main entrance to Schonbrunn Palace and the Cafe-Restaurant Residenz lies the Orangery Schonbrunn where a concert of classical music with works by Mozart and Strauss will complete your evening. Schonbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the imperial family, is considered one of the most beautiful baroque palaces in Europe. Today, the palace is part of UNESCO's cultural heritage due to its historic importance, its unique grounds and its splendid furnishings.

For the best introduction to the beautiful city of Vienna, tour the sights by coach and boat. As you travel along the Danube you'll pass the Prater and Kunsthaus, as well as driving through the lovely Vienna Woods. On the tour you'll see some of Vienna’s impressive architecture and important landmarks from both land and water. Traveling to the hills of the Vienna Woods, you'll enjoy magnificent views over vineyards and the city, and pass through the romantic wine-growing village of Grinzing.

Spend an unforgettable evening in Vienna on this Danube River cruise. After complimentary hotel pickup, board the cruise and enjoy a dinner buffet of Austrian specialties, while listening to live traditional Viennese music. Join in singing to popular Viennese melodies and take in breathtaking views of Vienna and the Austrian landscape at sunset. While cruising, settle into the cosy wine-tavern atmosphere and enjoy a buffet dinner featuring a wide selection of traditional Austrian dishes and beverages.
